Stephon's 45 Doesn't Stop The Lakers From Breaking 8-Game Streak

The Los Angeles Lakers broke their eight-game losing streak when Kobe Bryant scored 20 of his 32 points in the second half to beat the road-weary New York Knicks 117-107 Tuesday night.

Stephon Marbury's 45 points were 10 points short for the Knicks who also lost on Monday at Oakland.

Caron Butler added 26 points for Los Angeles. Devean George, playing just his third game of the season, had 18 points and Chucky Atkins scored 12 for the Lakers.

Mighty Mouse Expresses New York Interest

According to sources, Portland point guard Damon Stoudamire who is to be a free agent this summer will strongly consider being a New York Knick. With Stoudamire, the Knicks would be closer to the scrappy guard/shooting oriented lineup that has been so successful with the Phoenix Suns and Seattle Supersonics. A lineup Isiah Thomas has hinted at mimicking.

"If that happens, it would be great," Stoudamire said late Saturday night. "I definitely think the beauty of playing that way is that you have three guards that can pass, dribble and shoot. Isiah is molding the team the way he did in Toronto and like the team he played for in Detroit. Isiah, Joe Dumars and Vinnie Johnson all complemented each other."

Allen Scores 40 Points In Overtime Win

The Knicks battled the SuperSonics tough, as Seattle needed an overtime session to get a 109-101 victory. Ray Allen scored a game-high 40 points.

``I was glad that he played tonight and to be able to stick it out like he did was great,'' said Allen, a five-time All-Star whose career high is 47 points.

``I know once you start playing and the adrenaline starts pumping, it's just getting it started. But sometimes it's tough getting it started.''

In his second game after missing one against Milwaukee at home Tuesday night because of a sprained right ankle, Allen played 47 minutes, one more than Lewis.

``I'm feeling a lot better,'' he said. ``It's the same thing with me. You've just got to get it started. You walk in here and you feel locked up, but once you get started, there's no quitting.''
